Y is inversely proportional to x, when Y = 2, x = 4.

Find the value of x when Y = 4.

Answers

Answer 1

The value of x when y =4 is 2

How to solve for x?

An inverse proportion is represented as:

k = yx

Where

k represents the constant of proportion

When y = 2, x = 4.

So, we have:

k =2 * 4

k = 8

Substitute k = 8 in k = yx

So, we have:

yx = 8

When y = 4, we have:

4x = 8

Divide by 4

x = 2

Hence, the value of x when y =4 is 2

How many sequences of 0s and 1s of length 19 are there that begin with a 0, end with a 0, contain no two consecutive 0s, and contain no three consecutive 1s

Answers

65 sequences.

Lets solve the problem,

The last term is 0.

To form the first 18 terms, we must combine the following two sequences:

0-1 and 0-1-1

Any combination of these two sequences will yield a valid case in which no two 0's and no three 1's are adjacent

So we will combine identical 2-term sequences with identical 3-term sequences to yield a total of 18 terms, we get:

2x + 3y = 18

Case 1: x=9 and y=0

Number of ways to arrange 9 identical 2-term sequences = 1

Case 2: x=6 and y=2

Number of ways to arrange 6 identical 2-term sequences and 2 identical 3-term sequences =8!6!2!=28=8!6!2!=28

Case 3: x=3 and y=4

Number of ways to arrange 3 identical 2-term sequences and 4 identical 3-term sequences =7!3!4!=35=7!3!4!=35

Case 4: x=0 and y=6

Number of ways to arrange 6 identical 3-term sequences = 1

Total ways = Case 1 + Case 2 + Case 3 + Case 4 = 1 + 28 + 35 + 1 = 65

Hence the number of sequences are 65.

The machine produces 3000 nails in the month of April 2007.

Production of Nails in the Month of April

According to the given information,

Number of nails manufactured per day by the machine, x = 300  

And, we know that April is the fourth month of a year which has total 30 days.

Hence, number of days the machine is manufacturing nails in the month of April, y = 30

So, the number of nails that will be produced by the machine in the month of April is given by,

N = Number of nails produced per day × Number of days in April

N = xy

N = 300 × 30

N = 9000

Answers

The correct statements are Neither was correct and Joe used the height and radius to calculate the slant height.

How to find the square inches of paper needed.

The square inches of paper needed A = surface area of cone +  area of overlap

Surface area of cone

The surface area of the cone is given by A = πr[r + √(h² + r²)] where

r = radius of cone = 2 in and h = height of cone = 6 in.

So, A = πr[r + √(h² + r²)]

A = π × 2 × [2 + √(6² + 2²)]

A = π × 2 × [2 + √(36 + 4)]

A = π × 2 × [2 + √40]

A = π × 2 × [2 + 2√10]

A = 2π[2 + 2√10]

A = 4π + 4π√10

The area of overlap

The area of overlap A' = wL where

w = width of overlap = 1/2 in and L = slant height of cone = √(h² + r²)

So, A' = wL

A' = w[√(h² + r²)]

A' =  1/2[√(6² + 2²)]

A' =  1/2[√(36 + 4)]

A' =  1/2[√40]

A' =  1/2 × 2√10

A' = √10

So, the number of square inches of paper needed is A" = A + A'

=  4π + 8π√10 + √10

Since the number of square inches of paper needed is 4π + 4π√10 + √10

So, the correct statements are Neither was correct and Joe used the height and radius to calculate the slant height.

What is the measure of arc QR?

Answers

Answer:

answer is the third choice : 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Inscribed Angle Theorem

If an angle is inscribed in a circle, then the measure of the angle equals one half the measure of its intercepted arc.

so the intercepted arc is TWICE the measure of an angle inscribed in a circle

1. A central angle is an angle with endpoints located on a circle's circumference and vertex located at the circle's center. A central angle in a circle determines an arc.

2. An inscribed angle is an angle formed by three points on the circle's circumference.

Angle at the Center Theorem: An inscribed angle is half of the central angle (if they determine the same arc).

In your case angles:

1. ∠QSR is insribed (determines the arc QR);

2. ∠QTR is central (determines the arc QR).

Then by Angle at the Center Theorem, m∠QTR=2m∠QSR=2·52°=104°. Arc QR has the same measure as central angle QSR.

How to find an expression for the slope at any point of a function

[tex]m = \lim_{h \to 0}\frac{\frac{1}{x + h + 1} - \frac{1}{x + 1} }{h}[/tex]

[tex]m = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\frac{x+1 - x - h - 1}{(x + h + 1)\cdot (x + 1)} }{h}[/tex]

[tex]m = -\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{1}{(x + h + 1)\cdot (x + 1)}[/tex]

We know that,

Now,

Using the arrangement formula of Permutation,

i.e.

The total number of ways [tex]^nN_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex],

So,

For n = 5,

And,

r = 5

As we have,

n = r,

So,

Now,

Using the above-mentioned formula of arrangement,

i.e.

The total number of ways [tex]^nN_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex],

Now,

Substituting values,

We get,

The required answers to the given questions are:

1. y [tex]\alpha[/tex] x

 ⇒ y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality.

Given that, y = 5 and x =3, then;

5 = 3x

x = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

Thus,

y = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] x

2. v [tex]\alpha[/tex] w

  v = kw

Given: v = 21, w = 8

Then,

21 = 8k

k = [tex]\frac{21}{8}[/tex]

Thus,

v = [tex]\frac{21}{8}[/tex]w

3.  q [tex]\alpha[/tex] [tex]\frac{1}{q}[/tex]

  y = [tex]\frac{k}{q}[/tex]

Given: q = 5, q = 6

Then,

5 = [tex]\frac{k}{6}[/tex]

k = 5 x 6

k = 30

Thus,

p = [tex]\frac{30}{q}[/tex]

4. y [tex]\alpha[/tex] [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

  y = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex]

Given: y = 11, x = 3

Suppose that you are interested in determining the average height of a person in a large city. You begin by collecting the heights of a random sample of 256 people from the city. The average height of your sample is 64 inches, while the standard deviation of the heights in your sample is 4 inches.The standard error of your estimate of the average height in the city is .

Answers

The standard error of the estimate of average height in the city is 0.25.

Given average height 64 inches, sample mean and sample standard deviation of 4 inches.

We have to determine the standard error of the estimate of the average height in the city.

Standard error is the error which is predicted before research to happen in research. It is calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the sample by the square root of the sample size.

n=256

μ=mean

s = sample standard deviation

Standard error=s/[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex]

=4/[tex]\sqrt{256}[/tex]

=4/16

=0.25

Hence the standard error of the estimate of the average height is 0.25.

The volume of the oceans on Earth is approximately 1,386 million km^3. As the Earth's temperature rises, the ice in the polar icecaps melts into the oceans, increasing the volume of the oceans. If 1 cm^3 of ice melts, it turns into approximately 0.92 cm^3 water.

1) There are approximately 3,800 cm^3 in a gallon. If 1.9 m^3 of ice melts, how many gallons of water does this produce? (Round your answer to the nearest gallon.)

2) Scientists estimated that the addition of 1,000 km^3 of water would increase sea levels by 364 cm. Greenland's ice sheet is especially vulnerable to melting. Recent reports indicate a melting average of 195 km^3 of ice per year from Greenland, resulting in additional yearly 179.4 km^3 of water. If melting continues at this rate, how many centimeters would the sea increase after 6 years? (Round your answer to the nearest centimeter.)

Answers

Answer:

460 gallons392 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The necessary units conversion can be accomplished by multiplying by appropriate conversion factors. Quantity can be found by multiplying rate by time.

1)

The number of gallons of water produced by melting 1.9 m³ of ice is ...

  [tex]1.9\text{ m$^3$ (ice)}\times\left(\dfrac{100\text{ cm}}{1\text{ m}}\right)^3\times\dfrac{0.92\text{ cm$^3$ (water)}}{1\text{ cm$^3$ (ice)}}\times\dfrac{1\text{ gal}}{3800\text{ cm$^3$}}\\\\=\dfrac{1.9\times10^6\times0.92}{3800}\text{ gal}=\boxed{460\text{ gal}}[/tex]

2)

Multiplying the melting rate by time and converting to height, we have ...

  [tex]\dfrac{179.4\text{ km$^3$}}{1\text{ yr}}\times\dfrac{364\text{ cm}}{1000\text{ km$^3$}}\times6\text{ yr}\approx\boxed{392\text{ cm}}[/tex]

Additional comment

The area of the world's oceans is about 361e6 km², so addition of 1000 km³ of water might be expected to increase the water level by (1000/361)e-6 ≈ 2.77e-6 km = 0.277 cm. Something seems a little off in this problem statement.
